ABSTRACT
In our paper, SRAN (single radio access network technology) supports multi-band and multi-
mode communication for mobile users. In this, we address the signaling impact results of various
mobile bands and its spectrum utilization, resource utilization for high speed and its reduced
latency model. We deployed this architecture of network using reduced space capacity and
increased network resource utilization. Achievements made by simplicity of baseband board
technology. This introduces an optimization problem involving a trade-off between the number of
additional bands that are required and the costs of moving through the mobile field for the purpose
of spectrum usage. The Basic idea is to achieve 2G, 3G and LTE communication using a single
multi-band rectangular antenna. The method proposed guarantee that no further delay or latency
of the network can occur during the restoration. It considers about the energy consumption and the
remaining energy of base station as well as quality of links to find energy-efficient and reliable
routes that increase the operational lifetime of the network. Quality of Service of the
communication network is also improved in rural or hilly regions. From this, we will analyze the
multimode concurrency and conclude the performance of different bands. The performance can be
shown in graphical model.

1. INTRODUCTION
In this paper, a common rectangular antenna which supported only GSM technology is effectively used
and shared in order to support UMTS and LTE along with GSM technology users. The basic idea is to

achieve 2G, 3G and LTE communication using a single rectangular antenna. In [1],a reconfigurable
antenna is used for mobile terminals with extended band coverage obtained by using a digitally tunable
capacitor (DTC). But the disadvantages in this paper are as follows: Antenna structure is matched
permanently over high frequency bands including DCS/PCS, UMTS, LTE 800/2600, and 3.5-GHz bands.
There exist an optimization problem and trade-off between the number of additional bands and the costs.
This is a high frequency antenna system. Whereas in [2], In May 2009, GSM technology the largest mobile
operator in Latin America deployed Huaweis Single RAN GSM and UMTS system, providing its
customers with voice and data services from GSM and UMTS networks simultaneously. The technology
includes software defined networks radio devices. According to ECONOMIST America Mvil found that
the base station power consumption was reduced by 50% and the equipments required was reduced by
70%, following deployment of Huaweis Single RAN hardware. Fig:1 shows the general block diagram of
how happens in a SRAN network. With the beginning of SRAN technologies different changes occurred in
telecommunication networks. UBBDp6 is the most important part in different versions of SRAN
technologies, After the development of SRAN9.0, UBBP boards were classified as follows: UBBPd1,
UBBPd2, UBBPd3, UBBPd4, UBBPd5, UBBPd6, and UBBPd9.

2. COMMUNICATION NETWORK USING SRAN TECHNOLOGY

Figure 1 shows the base station functioning in an SRAN network. In this paper, users of different band
technologies are considered and they are connected to RNC (Radio Network Controller) via UBBPd6
(Universal Base-Band Processing unit) card. SRAN is similar to Software Defined Radio (SDR), ie.,
controlling hardware using appropriate software. With SRAN, all relevant wireless technologies are
supported by modular multi-standard architecture for wireless base stations (BTS). The functionality of
BSC and RNC is made available on a common platform. And third, the standardization of the management
solution for the network elements (NEM/ OMC) leads to economic operation and first opens the door to
the use of cross-technology techniques for network optimization.

3. PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
In real time, radio unit is connected to common rectangular antenna which is supporting GSM technology
via diplexer. Then the radio unit is connected to base-band board through optical connection. The
combination of different band function is done on a single board using SRAN solution via UBBPD6 card.

 Effective Resource Sharing with Universal Base-Band Processing Technology Supporting all Mobile Users

From base-band board it gets connected to SRAN. SRAN separates the different technologies according to
band function and then it is connected to different gateway.

Figure 2 Block diagram of communication network using UBBPd6 card

In above block diagram, RRU 900MHz is connected to slot 1, RRU 2100MHz is connected to slot 2,
RRU 1800MHz is connected to slot 5, RRU 2300MHz is connected to slot 6. Then it is processed and
given to UMPTd2 card and then to receiver antenna via RTN (Radio Transmission Network) unit. The
description of each unit is explained below.
The basic blocks involved are: Rectangular antenna, RRU, Diplexer, UBBPd6 card, Optical cables and
connectors.

3.1. Rectangular Antenna

These antennas transmit signals from the base station to the mobile phone. They are directional and
arranged in normal implementation. Every base station has three of these. Coverage area of each antenna
will be within 120 degrees.

3.2. RRU (Remote Radio Unit)

One or more RRU constitute the radio frequency (RF) part of a distributed base station. RRU can be
installed on a pole, wall, or stand. It can or close to antennas in order to shorten the feeder length, reduce
feeder loss, and improve system coverage. RRU provide the functions such as modulate and demodulate
baseband signals and RF signals, process data, amplify power and detect standing waves.
One RRU= 4Tx + 4Rx.
In 900MHz = 2G (2Tx , 2Rx)+ 3G (2Tx , 2Rx)
In 1800MHz=2G (2Tx , 2Rx)+ 4G (2Tx , 2Rx)

http://www.iaeme.com/IJECET/index.asp 45 editor@iaeme.com
 B. Uma and Dr. S. Sumathi

The RRU performs the following functions:

Receives downlink baseband data from the BBU and sends uplink baseband data for the communication
between the BBU and the RRU.
Receives RF signals from the antenna system, down-converts the received signals to IF signals, amplifies the
IF signals, and performs analog-to-digital conversion. The transmitter channel filters downlink signals and
performs digital-to-analog conversion, and up-converts RF signals to the TX band.
Multiplexes RX and TX signals, which enables these signals to share the same antenna path. It also filters
the RX and TX signals.

3.3. Diplexer
It is a passive device that implements frequency-domain multiplexing. Two ports (e.g., L and H) are
multiplexed onto a third port (e.g.,S). The signals on ports L and H have mismatched frequency bands.
Typically, the signal on port L will occupy a single low frequency band and the signal on port H will
occupy a higher frequency band. In that situation, the diplexer consists of a lowpass filter connecting ports
L and S and high pass filter connecting ports H and S. Ideally, all the lowband signal power on port L is
transferred to the S port and vice versa. All the highband signal power on port H is transferred to port S
and vice versa. Ideally, the separation of the signals is complete. None of the low band signal is transferred
from the L port to the H port. In the real time application, some power will be lost, and some signal power
will leak to the wrong port. The diplexer is a different device than a passive combiner or splitter. The ports
of a diplexer are frequency selective.

3.4. UBBPD6 (Universal Base Band Processing Unit)

UBBP is a universal baseband processing unit and can be installed in a BBU3900 orBBU3910.It supports
8T8R per cell. It uses maximum UE per cell. It supports all technologies like GSM, LTE, UMTS etcIt
has high speed and mobility. Using this card dynamic multiuser is enabled. Figure 3 shows the multiple
functions of UBBPd6 card. It also converts inter frequency bands as single frequency. 7 RRUs are
supported in a single UBBPD6 card. There are 6 cells and each cell bandwidth will be 1.4/3/5/10/15/20
MHz. Antenna configuration is as follows: 6x20 MHz 1T1R, 6x20 MHz 1T2R, 6x20 MHz 2T2R, 6x20
MHz 2T4R, 6x20 MHz 4T4R.A UBBP performs the following functions:
Provides CPRI ports for communication with RF modules.
Processes uplink and downlink baseband signals.
Supports the multiplex of baseband resources among different modes, thereby implementing multimode
concurrency.
The number of 2R and 4R carriers is 48 and 24. The number of uplink and downlink CEs are 1024 &
1024.

 Effective Resource Sharing with Universal Base-Band Processing Technology Supporting all Mobile Users

In real time system, the GSM antenna has two positive and two negative terminals. Diplexer
multiplexes the incoming frequencies without any interference between them. One positive terminal from
900MHz is connected to diplexer 1 and another positive terminal from 1800MHz is connected to diplexer
3. Similarly, One negative terminal from 900MHz is connected to diplexer 2 and another negative terminal
from 1800MHz is connected to diplexer 4. Then RRUs are connected to BBU. In BBU, there are 6 slots in
UBBPd6 card. These slots will convert the incoming bands of different frequencies into inter-mediate
frequency.

With the help of above block diagram, multi-user and multi-band mobile communication is achieved
by the reuse concept of frequency spectrum. Due to this, better energy conservation and reduced latency is
achieved. We can address the signaling impact results of various mobile bands, spectrum utilization,
